DSQUARED² presents exclusive Life Ball MINI 2011. Creative car design for the benefit of Aids Life.
Dean and Dan Caten, better known as the Canadian designer duo DSQÚARED², unveil their exclusive Life Ball MINI 2011 in Vienna on May 21st. The twin brothers refashioned their MINI Cooper S to ensure that it would be armed for adventures of all kinds. Among its striking features are the front guard, rally headlamps, tinted side windows wîth grilles and the spare tyre on the tailgate. But that's not all: the vehicle's raised chassis and deep-tread all-terrain tyres instantly evoke a sense of adventure. When it came to the interior, our two designers similarly scrutinised every detail. If road signs are unclear, there's a compass to help you head in the right direction, while floormats made of structured aluminium sheeting protect the inside from dirt. The trademark DSQÚARED2 maple leaf on the leather head restraints and the side doors rounds off the cabin of this robust MINI wîth a stylish flour. Dean and Dan are delighted wîth the result: 'Our MINI ‘Red Mudder' is 100 per cent DSQÚARED².' On Saturday evening this one-off was gliding along the red carpet at the legendary Life Ball.This year sees carmaker MINI supporting Europe's biggest AIDS charity event for the 11th time. Each year a one-off MINI is created for the Life Ball, the proceeds of which support projects combating HIV/AIDS. Since 2001 more than half a million euros has been generated by these specially styled Life Ball MINI models on behalf of Aids Life. Gery Keszler, the founder and organiser of the Life Ball, is impressed by this longstanding collaboration: 'MINI has been a partner of the Life Ball for 11 years and each year it demonstrates anew its creativity, enthusiasm and passion for this good cause. This year's Life Ball MINI designed by DSQÚARED² provides further persuasive evidence of this.' In previous years, designers such as Agent Provocateur, Donatella Versace, Diesel, Missoni and Gianfranco Ferré obliged wîth their own designs for a Life Ball MINI.
